AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is an insulated glazing unit that uses aerogel particles sealed in vessels as well as insulating gases to minimize the transfer of heat across the window system. The aerogel is translucent but not transparent, allowing users to see through the window while giving it an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The ability of the present invention to control the range and direction of vision collectively makes a corrective lens for the window system. The aerogel also has exceptional insulating properties which will aid the present invention to minimize heat transfer across the window.

Problems solved by technology

However, even though Aerogel is translucent, it is not transparent.
This property of Aerogel prevents the user from being able to see through a window.
However, this application of aerogel has still yet to allow users to see through the windows.

Embodiment Construction

[0039]All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Thermal insulating windows have become a product that is able to help families, buildings, subways, cruise ships and other conditioned living spaces significantly save on energy costs. Many types of windows have been developed trying to maximize insulation and minimize heat transfer.

[0040]The present invention is a type of window system that makes use of insulating materials with exceptional insulating properties to minimize heat transfer across the window. This invention is able to effectively insulate and reduce heat transfer while allowing users to be able to see through the window without being hindered by the insulating material.

[0041]The present invention comprises of two main modules. These two modules are an insulated glazing system 1 and at least one vessel 20. The Insulating Corrective Lens Sy...

Abstract

An improved insulated glass unit which contains vessels filled with nanotechnology insulating material for superior insulation. Vessels are arranged so that users will still be able to see through the unit without compromising on insulation. The shape and angles of the vessel can be used to determine the range of vision allowed for the user.

Description

[0001]The current application claims a priority to the U.S. Provisional Patent application Ser. No. 61 / 307,685 filed on Feb. 24, 2010.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates generally to a window system that is able to effectively insulate heat. It is the objective of the present invention to insulate heat as well as allow the user to be able to see through the window while adjusting what direction the viewer can see in.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0003]With limited natural resources, energy providers are beginning to charge real estate owners more for their services. To compensate for the increase in energy prices, energy efficient products are constantly being developed. Even methods of constructing homes and buildings are changing to become more energy efficient. A direction for contractors to make buildings more energy efficient is to include energy efficient windows. There have been many windows developed that minimize heat transfer by increasing the insulation....
